vllm - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: CVE-2026-1839 requires transformers update [1 participants]

TL;DR

Update vLLM to a version that supports transformers version 5.0.0rc3 or later to address the CVE-2026-1839 vulnerability.

Guidance

• Identify the current version of vLLM being used and check its compatibility with transformers versions >= 5.0.0rc3.
• Review the vLLM documentation and release notes for any information on upcoming versions that support the required transformers version.
• Consider reaching out to the vLLM maintainers or community for guidance on when a compatible version will be released.
• Evaluate the feasibility of using a different library or workaround that supports the required transformers version.

Notes

The solution relies on the availability of a new vLLM release that supports transformers version 5.0.0rc3 or later. If such a release is not available, alternative workarounds or libraries may need to be explored.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Until a new version of vLLM is released that supports the required transformers version, consider using a different library or implementing a temporary workaround to address the CVE-2026-1839 vulnerability.
